It has been known worldwide that 16 ounces are equivalent to a pound. But then, people are confused when a presented problem asks how many pounds are in a given number of ounces.
You simply change the equation. 16 oz = 1 lb
1 oz = 1/16 lb

1/16 x 20 = 5/4, or 1 1/4.
There you have it. Hereafter, there are 1 1/4 pounds in 20 ounces.

How many pounds are there in 20 ounces?
1 pound = 16 ounces - therefore 20 pounds = 20 x 16 = 320 ounces
How many ounces equals 1.25 pounds?
125 pounds x 16 ounces/pound = 2,000 ounces
How do you change 20 ounces to pounds?
1.25 lbs. One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."
320 ounces of water equals how many pounds?
First off, in this case it doesn't matter what the substance is, since you gave 2 weights. One pound is 16 ounces. So you divide 320 by 16. 320 : 16 = 20 So 320 ounces equals 20 pounds.
What is heavier 20 pounds or 300 ounces and why?
20 pounds is heavier than 300 ounces because 1 pound equals 16 ounces. So, 20 x 16 = 320.
